Another 14 egg day. My crowing hen finally contributed. The big white egg in the middle.

I yanked my first of the season broody out of a nest box. It's Tonk, one of the Sebright pullets. All 1.3 pounds of her all puffed up and screeching at me. Adorable!

I'm going to have to tap some old customers and see if they are interested.

Mine have been waiting since fall, delivering 5 dozen tomorrow.

I'm trying to find some organic feed; the increase in $$$ could be offset by selling eggs.

Here organic feed is twice the price of "regular". Couldn't charge enough for eggs to pay for that.

I found an organic 20% all flock, made by Kalmbach. It was $16 for 50 pounds.

that is amazing.

It can also describe foods grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers.

That is the part people care about in animal food. I have found that organic bananas last longer than non organic bananas. There must be something in the pesticides/herbicides that adversely affects the fruit.

Since he looked it up in a book, maybe he jumped a line?

I wouldn't be surprised, that does seem like too good a deal.

All 1.3 pounds of her all puffed up and screeching at me.

And you said "I am SO SCARED!" just to make her feel better.

I don't know but presume organic bananas are not picked really green then sprayed to ripen on the way to the store. I worked on a storage warehouse that stored banana's. They would put them in a large chest 20' wide 30' high and I don't know how long and gas them to make them ripen. After that you only have so long i guess.
But you can't ship ripe banana's across the world and still make it to sell date either.

I don't have the wood handle on mine and yours doesn't have a big dent in it where one of the hens flew up on the brooder lid and knocked it to the floor.. but they're pretty darn close!
